Man ordered to return to custody

STOCKTON - Sheriff's officials are seeking Charles Aldridge, 28, who did not return to jail after receiving a court-ordered day pass on July 30.

Aldridge, who was in custody on a host of burglary and theft charges, was granted a pass from 2 to 8 p.m. July 30 but didn't return, according to the Sheriff's Office. On Friday, deputies spotted him driving a vehicle near West Poplar and North Edison streets in Stockton and tried to stop it.

The vehicle slowed down, and a woman, identified as his girlfriend, Paige Stinnett, 21, got out before it sped away. She was arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting.

Deputies tried to stop him, but he drove off and was involved in a single-car, non-injury accident, according to sheriff's officials. He was able to evade deputies.

Anyone with information as to his whereabouts is asked to call the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office at (209) 468-4400 or text tips to 247637, and in the message area type "SJSO," then a space and the tip.
